Hi everyone i was banded about 4 yrs ago, i lost nearly 7 stone in 9 months, then had a baby & hes 20 months old now, ive been slowly putting ALL of the weight back on again

I went to the hospital today to find out the reason for it... Its because its leaking & ive got to go back to have day surgery for a new port

I feel sooo angry for allowing myself to put all the weight back on again.. But ive got to lose the weight again for the sake of my baby, i owe it to him to get fitter/healthier, but i feel so ashamed & low.

Debbie: Not a failure! You had a baby and a leak! You'll get it fixed and then you're back on the program. It's probably surprising you didn't gain more than you did! You lost it before and you can lose it again. You have the advantage of being so much smarter about how the band works and what you need to do to get good results. Hang in there!

Thanks hun, I am more determend now, Im very lucky to have a baby out of this & to get back into control again..

They said its a common thing for a band to leak, I just wished i'd gone back way before now & i don't know why i didn't, I think i just got back into my bad old ways

That's okay, you're starting now, no beating up yourself up! Take care of the baby and take care of you!!! You did it once, you can do it again!!
